D-Em-C-GD-Em-C-GDEmCG
Gun squads got whatever they wanted
DEmCG
On Pine Ridge
GG/BCD
Dickie Wilson the only law and order
GG/F#EmCD
Sat back and watched while over 100 were murdered
EmBmCD
He'd made his bed with the government man
CC/BAmD
Taking everything he could for himself, his family and
GG/BCD
friends
GG/BCD
And he didn't want those longhairs on his reservation
GG/F#EmCD
They were always causing trouble and instigating
EmBmCD
So he waged his war of intimidation
CC/BAmDGG/BCD
On his poverty stricken reservation
GG/BCD
>From ??wounded knees?? to the ??longest walks??
GG/F#EmCD
While the government destroys what won^Òt be bought
EmBmCD
When the whites first came to the Black Hills for the gold
CC/BAmDG
Now the corporations steal the uranium and coal
DEmCG
They destroyed the land and the traditional ways
DEmCG
And you can^Òt drink the water, you better not stand in the way
DEmCG
On Pine Ridge
DEmCG
On Pine Ridge
EmCDGG/F#
This is a song of freedom
EmCDGG/F#
While the eagle soars in the endless blue sky
EmCDGG/F#
For the innocent, wrongly imprisoned
EmCD
This is a song of freedom
GG/BCDGG/BCDEmEmEmEm[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/blue_rodeo/pine_ridge_crd.html ]C7
The government man hate the color of your skin and your ?dogshined?
Em
reservation
C7Em
No reasons why those two FBI were on Oglala land chasing that red van
C7
And the FBI admit Leonard Peltier did not commit the killings that have
kept
Em
him 20 years in prison
C7EmGDEmC
This is a song of freedom
EmC7Em
No explanations why those two FBI were on Oglala land chasing that red
van
C7
Well maybe because Dickie Wilson was in Washington selling uranium to
the
Em
American nightmare
GFBbC
As the people striving 2 FBI were lying dead in a pasture
GF
Williams and Collier
C7
Caught in a crossfire
G7G7
Dino Butler and ??Bob Roberdobo?? got tried and acquitted
G7
And the case against Jimmy Eagle was so weak it never got prosecuted
C7
So they set their sights on the last chance of a conviction
Eb7D7
with a ??record?? eye-witness and a legal extradition
C7
Leonard Peltier had fled across the border to southern Alberta
GF
The Canadian government was far too eager
BbC7
And in awe of their elected copkiller
GG/BCD
There's a few that know the truth this morning in Oglala
GG/F#EmCD
They^Òre as silent as the land, as silent as Williams and Collier
EmBmCD
They^Òre as silent as the eagle in the endless blue sky
CC/BAmDG
They^Òre as silent as the sun, she's been watching such a long time
DEmCG
Cause it^Òs a sacred mind of ???? that's brought to the ?????
DEmCG
Leonard Peltier's rule divided the land
DEmCG
And the soldiers came to protect their own
DEmCG
With the promises of peace and the land that they stole
DEmCG
And they murdered Crazy Horse killed off the buffalo
DEmCG
Since yesterday and today and all of tomorrow
DEmCG
There^Òs a silence in the land, there^Òs a sadness in the people
DEmCG
But life goes on, it's the same as it's always done
DEmCG
On Pine Ridge
